Flood

My world is a little wet right now. We’ve had unbelievable amounts of rain in the last little while, and in the last two days it finally started to spill over. Calgary is flooded, to an extent that I don’t think anyone ever could have imagined. It’s unreal.

People have lost their homes and iconic parts of the city are completely under water.

I can’t describe how this makes me feel, but I’m teary, and I don’t normally get that way with tragic events and natural disasters. It’s just…so much to take in.

In any case, one of the amazing things to see is the support given to first responders. It never fails. The love is amazing, and when people talk about Alberta flood 2013 I’m sure this is one of the things they’ll remember.

I’ve shared a bit about that on the Huffington Post. (Please send good (and dry) thoughts.)
